(Clearwisdom.net) Many attachments surfaced before I stepped forward to clarify the truth face to face - especially fear. I knew that, as a practitioner, I had to clarify the truth face to face, since it's our mission to save people. Whenever I thought about explaining the facts of Falun Dafa to strangers, my heart would beat really fast, and many human thoughts would surface. On these occasions, I usually calm down, study the Fa, memorize the Falun Dafa teachings, and send righteous thoughts to eliminate those attachments and bad substances.
Gradually, these attachments are diminishing. Whenever bad human thoughts arose, I recited Teacher's Fa:
"Get rid of any attachment you have, and don't think about anything. Just do everything a Dafa disciple should do, and everything will be covered." ("Teaching the Fa at the Washington, D.C. International Fa Conference," 2001, from Guiding the Voyage)
I was determined to step forward to explain the truth about Falun Dafa.
I couldn't even open my mouth the first two days I tried, and went home without any accomplishing anything. On the third day I thought, "I must tell people the facts about Falun Dafa today." An opportunity came when I saw a young man holding a machine part and trying to put it in a motor. I walked up to him and started explaining the facts. After a while, he agreed to quit the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its affiliated organizations. I continued walking and met a lady. She also agreed to quit the CCP. I thought, "It's not difficult at all." This is how I began clarifying the truth face to face. Every time I returned home, I reviewed what I had said and done and identified my shortcomings in order to perform better the next time. In tim, I accumulated much experience and could it well.
Clarifying the truth face to face is like wandering around in society. It's rather torturous. Teacher said,
"It must beg for food and meet different kinds of people who will scold, insult, or take advantage of it. It might encounter all kinds of things. "(from Lecture Eight, Zhuan Falun)
Once I approached a person who sold clothing. As I began my opening sentences, she shouted, "I don't want to quit the CCP." It appeared that she intended to report me to the police, and I thought of leaving. When I turned back, she said, "I have a relative who is just like you. The police arrested her several months ago. Is it possible that the police arrested her even if she was a good person?" After hearing this, I thought that I couldn't leave. I asked her, "Why did the police arrest your relative? Did she drink, commit adultary, gamble, falsely incriminate someone, coverup something, kidnap, or cheat? Did she do something bad?" She said, "No, she didn't do anything you said just now." I said, "Then she is great! I am telling you: Your relative risked her life to save people, but she was arrested for that. What do you think? Is she good or bad? Isn't it obvious? She is more than a good person. She is an extraordinarily good person. You should be proud to have such a relative." Then I explained to her what Falun Gong was about. Just then some customers arrived to buy clothes. I said, "I wish you a prosperous business; I'm leaving." She said, "Aunt, I wish you health. Please walk carefully."
On one occasion, I explained the facts to a girl on a noisy street. Finally, she agreed to quit the CCP. Just as I was assigning her a pseudonym, a man interrupted us and shouted, "What are you saying to her? I've been staring at you for a while. Tell me what you said to her!" I was not intimidated at all, and said, "You may ask her." The girl held the man's hands and said "Daddy, let's go." We shouldn't be moved no matter what we encounter while clarifying the truth.
Another time, I explained the facts to a salesperson. She said, "I've heard someone talk about this before, but many people came to buy my goods that day. He left after a while. I've also seen someone distribute flyers, pamphlets, and DVDs on the second floor." I explained more to her. She said, "So that's what it is. What you said is really true." Finally, she agreed to quit the CCP. This is the power of the whole body. What fellow practitioners said and did paved the way. The worldly people are awakening.
During the process of saving people and clarifying the truth face to face, I've realized that everything is done by Teacher and that I only explain the truth to people. Those who have predestined relationships with Dafa are waiting anxiously to be saved. Once they have understood the truth, we see the anxious look in their eyes and the joy from the bottom of their hearts. Their knowing side is awakened. I've also realized that, no matter what the surrounding environment is like while we're clarifying the truth, nothing dangerous will happen to us as long as we are not moved. Actually, the surrounding environment changes along with our thoughts. Fellow practitioners who haven't stepped forward, do step forward quickly. Time waits for no one. It's not difficult at all to clarify the truth face to face. Only those who can't let go of their human attachments feel that it's difficult. Aren't we practitioners cultivating our hearts? Therefore, let's lay down everything and go save people. Once a person is saved, a universe is saved.
